Web-first POS that runs on the iPad you already have. Card payments, barcode scanning, inventory, refunds, and a free listing on the Scrubby pet-parent marketplace — all in one place.
Free tier forever. 0.5% Scrubby fee + standard Stripe fees on card sales. No commission on marketplace bookings.
Stripe Express verification takes 1–2 business days. Everything else takes minutes.
Web-only signup. No app to download. Use the iPad, laptop, or desktop you already have at the counter.
Stripe verifies your business, then payouts land in your bank account. You stay the merchant of record on every sale.
Catalog, register, refunds, transactions, and a free pet-parent marketplace listing are live the moment you finish onboarding.
Start free. Move to Pro when revenue justifies it. Move to Premium when you need multi-location.
Subscription billing for Pro and Premium tiers ships shortly after launch. Today, every new store starts on Free and contacts us to upgrade.
What Scrubby is good at today, and what it isn’t yet. We’d rather tell you up front than have you find out at the counter.

If you run a 3-location chain doing high volume, Square or Shopify POS is probably the better fit today. If you’re an independent pet store and want a free POS that puts you in front of pet parents, that’s us.
Three reasons, in plain English.
Start at $0/mo. You only pay Stripe’s standard card fee plus a 0.5% Scrubby fee on each card sale. Marketplace bookings from pet parents cost you nothing.
Every store on Scrubby gets a free listing in the Scrubby pet-parent app. Pet owners searching for “dog food near me” or “raw food in Austin” find you without paid ads.
No proprietary hardware to buy. The POS is a web app at pos.scrubby.app. Plug in a $59 Stripe Reader, or order a Stripe Reader S700 if you want a dedicated unit.
No credit card, no contract, no commitment. Stripe Express verifies your business in 1–2 business days, then you’re live.
Free tier forever. 0.5% Scrubby fee + Stripe fees on card sales. No commission on marketplace bookings.
